"Hi, this is Bruce Lessels from Zoar Outdoor for expertvillage.com talking about camping. There are few things to consider when you’re brining kids on a camping trip. The main one is comfort, you want to make sure kids stay warm and they keep their hands and their feet warm, that they stay comfortable during the trip. One thing to do at night is to make sure that they have a nice warm sleeping system. Often the kids will sleep in a tent with their parents and if they do sort of monitor them throughout the night and make sure that they are staying warm. Another thing about camping with kids is that you want to make sure there’s plenty for them to do during the day. There’s lots of games they can play, lots of places they can go hiking or fishing or swimming. But again if you’re on a campsite and you’re pretty far out in the woods or in a more remote location, you want to make sure that the kids have somewhere safe to go and that they’re not going to get too far away and not get lost. But also have a fun time because if you make camping fun for kids they’ll come back and do it again and again."
